This was a sweet story, and I appreciate the trigger warning at the front. I personally don't suffer from chronic illness, but some people close to me do. Though I do not know what it is like, I have seen how trying and excruciating it can be. So, for that, I am grateful for the inclusion of it in the story.

As for the story itself, it was written fairly well, and I loved the Irish setting. The characters could have used a little more depth to who they are, but I enjoyed how they grew together and opened up. I'm not sure I enjoyed the 1st person narrative because it felt like a lot of monologuing that didn't seem natural to me. Plus, the relationship was insta-lovey, but also very cute and sweet.

Reading this book felt the exact same as watching a romcom movie. In other words, it was entertaining, but there's a lot packed in really fast. One thing I'd have liked more of would be a bit more time spent growing the relationship between Eyre and Darby rather than having it be so insta-attraction.

Anyway, this is a sweet read that acknowledges some hard truths of life. It's done in a respectful but real way.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC and for the opportunity to review this book. I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Content
Clean romance, no swearing, talk of chronic illness. For the best content review, see the author's notes in her content caution section before the start of the book.

Thank you Books Go Social, Brooke Gilbert, and NetGalley for this ARC copy of The Irish Fall, in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

This was such a wholesome read! As an Irishwoman myself, I laughed so hard at some of the references.

“First lesson in Ireland - Never anger an Irishman”

I greatly appreciated the trigger warning at the beginning. I honestly wished more authors had this courtesy. I struggle with endometriosis myself and some of the content would have been very off putting had I not know ahead of time it was coming.

With that in mind this was a beautiful journey of healing, leaning into faith, and love. These broken souls were meant to find one another and God works in mysterious ways!

“We can’t have faith and not struggle, we have to fight for it. It’s not easy. You can’t just decide and never have doubts, bad days or struggles.”

Darby was easy for me to love. These characters are developed well and the storyline is simply beautiful, and very educating. I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store.

I absolutely devoured this book. It came with a trigger warning which I appreciate. It was a fabulous book. It was a sweet romance however it does deal with topics such as crohn's, endometriosis, and panic attacks. It was set in Ireland so I felt like I was actually there....gorgeous setting and gorgeous cover too. Looking forward to this author's next novel.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

I've mentioned to people before that books should come with a trigger warning. This novel is the first one I have encountered to have one, it made me question whether I wanted to read it or pass it by. I decided to jump in and I am so glad I did. On a day when I couldn't get dressed or get off the couch from my own personal chronic health journey I was transported to another place. I lost the day to laughter and tears. I thank the author for not beautifying the pain, the insecurity and fears of any of the brilliant characters in the book. Only yesterday I spoke to my husband about our "Job moments" to see it referenced in this novel brought so much comfort. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and recommend highly.
